Yoga Classes | Om Seva Yoga with Olga


What’s ironic about doing this brand collaboration shoot is that I’ve always been a little skeptical about whether Yoga could really be considered a workout. I’ve been a loyal kickboxing fan for over two years, and nothing gets my heart racing (and sweat dripping) quite like it. So, when I stepped into Olga’s Om Seva Yoga class in Rickmansworth, I wasn’t sure what to expect.

Within minutes, my doubts were gone.

From the moment you walk into Olga’s class, the outside world fades away — the endless to-do lists, the thought of whether you locked the car, even the dishes in the sink. Instead, you’re welcomed with the calming scent of incense, soothing music, and an atmosphere of complete tranquility. But don’t be fooled by the calm — because this Yoga will make you sweat.

Within 10 minutes, Olga had me working hard enough to feel that familiar burn. When she asked, “Are you warm now?” I could have cried — yes, I was very warm! Watching her move so effortlessly was inspiring, and a reminder that her 11 years of teaching and practicing Yoga are a testament to constant dedication and growth.


What stood out most was how inclusive the class was. Some students had been attending for just a few weeks, others for over a year, yet everyone was guided with the same care. Olga doesn’t just demonstrate the poses — she corrects your technique to make sure you’re practicing safely, and she encourages you to push a little further, without ever losing the sense of calm.


By the end of class, I not only felt stronger and more flexible, but I also slept better than I had in weeks. Yoga truly surprised me — it’s more than relaxation; it’s a full mind-body workout.

Why You Should Book Olga’s Yoga Classes


Attending Olga’s class was more than just exercise for me. It was an introduction to what Om Seva Yoga is really about: building strength, balance, and mindfulness in a safe and supportive community.


If you’ve been skeptical about Yoga — like I was — I can’t recommend Olga’s classes enough. Whether you’re brand new or experienced, you’ll feel welcomed, supported, and challenged. With classes now running in Rickmansworth (Mill End Community Centre), Croxley Green, and soon Berkhamsted (from September), there’s no better time to try.

The Photoshoot: Bringing Om Seva Yoga to Life


As a lifestyle and branding photographer, I always want to tell the authentic story behind a business. Experiencing Olga’s class gave me the insight I needed to capture the essence of Om Seva Yoga. The shoot flowed naturally — from choosing the location to capturing moments of movement and stillness, the photos reflect the calm yet powerful energy of her classes.


Here’s what Olga had to say about her experience working together:

“I had a branding photoshoot for my yoga business with Riya recently and I was very happy with the result! Riya attended one of my yoga classes recently and wanted to try capture the atmosphere of the yoga class and translate it into the photos and I must say it was absolutely amazing! I haven't had much experience with professional photoshoot before so was feeling nervous, but Riya made me feel relaxed and at ease and enjoy the process. I am very grateful and would highly recommend Riya for your next photoshoot. Thank you!!”
